Fly Fishing Articles by
Sam Strauss

Born and based in Spittal Carinthia, Austria, Sam Strauss is a photographer driven by
curiosity, light, and the constant pull of the outdoors. His work moves between mountains and
sea, people and stories, sport and silence — always grounded in authenticity and emotion.
When he’s not behind the camera, you’ll find him knee-deep in cold water, chasing trout with
a fly rod. For Sam, fly fishing and photography share the same rhythm — patience, precision,
and the art of being in the right place at the right time. He once tried city life but traded concrete for open skies
because mountain light and moving water have always felt more like home.
Sam’s images capture the beauty of motion, solitude, and adventure. Whether it’s a surfer in
the Atlantic or a quiet morning on the river, he tells stories about connection between
people, nature, and time itself.
